BMW India has launched the fourth-generation of its most popular SUV, the X5. It is available in three variants – M Sport, Sport and XLine trims. The prices start from Rs 72.9 Lakhs up to Rs 82.40 Lakhs (ex-showroom). Available with both petrol and diesel engine options.

The X5 xDrive40i is powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six petrol engine that produces 340PS of power and 450Nm of torque. The xDrive30d, meanwhile, gets a familiar 3.0-litre inline-six diesel unit that makes 265PS and 620Nm. It is the same engine that powers the BMW 530d M Sport and the X4 xDrive30d M Sport X in India. Both variants get an 8-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system.

On the outside, the new X5 follows BMW’s new design theme for SUVs as seen on the X1, X3 and X4. However, it features a large single-piece kidney grille like the one on the X7 and the new 7 Series. This new grille is equipped with active flaps for better aerodynamics and is flanked by chunky, dual-barrel LED headlamps that feature hexagonal detailing with blue inserts. At the rear, the new X5 features a split tailgate, a first for the SUV.

Other features on offer include optional BMW Laser Light with adaptive LED headlights, multifunctional seats with massage function, a four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system. For added versatility, the X5 is also offered with an optional third row of seats.
